Beijing. The Complete History of the City

Beijing – a city where history is present at every turn. It is impossible to imagine it without temples and palace complexes, as well as modern skyscrapers. The capital of China is a city of contrasts. Here, magnificence coexists with chaos at every step, just like Yin and Yang – they are always close, always together, and no one and nothing can separate them.

Ancient emperors hiding under the shady archways of palaces and communists loudly proclaiming from their platforms and balconies, a riddle upon a riddle, a mystery upon a mystery… What is Beijing really like?
